X's Bucks Dynasty *WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN*

Ceballos did not become an Allstar??? I did not know because I only followed the NBA in year 2005

Ceballos was a one-time All-Star, but due to injury was forced to missed the game. That's why I compared his miss to Gerald Wallace's

Plus Ced is one of my fav players of All-Time

Wait till I make the NBA in 6 months time. You're gonna wish you got me to give you that autograph!

Hey X, can I use the "Line of the Night" for Thierry's story? Keep it simple.

Sure, please feel free to use it. I'm only using it sporadically anyways. And it's not like most of my Association is really 100% original anyways. They have stat line of night over at ESPN Daily Dime.

Hey all,

Simmed game against Thunder is up on 2k blog:



I've just been hit by injury after injury at the moment, but we will see how we go. To all you Sebastian Telfair fans out there, he's another victim to the mysterious broken patella injury, so he's out for a year Aside from Telfair, the rest of the main guys are starting to get healthy & results are following such. As the MVP race hots up, Carmelo Anthony is shaping up as a real chance to win his first. Brandon Jennings is edging out Tyreke Evans & Stephen Curry for ROY honours. Talking about Tyreke Evans, now that he is back from injury he is a solid chance to win 6th Man of Year. Josh Smith seems favourite for DPOY unless Dwight Howard can catch him late. Around the league, Wizards & Knicks just keep on winning, Heat & Raptors are making a late charge but might have left it to late. Out West, the Warriors & Thunder are the surprise packages whilst the Jazz are the biggest disappointment. The Grizzlies fired Lionel Hollins too.

I like your team and how they played vs the Thunder. Too bad Durant couldn't step up.

Six players on double figures against Thunder, great win But then really tough losses.

Too good Durant couldn't step up.

There, corrected.

Balanced scoring leads to a good win. I found the Thunder tough to play because I had problems to stay in front of Westbrook and if he kicked it out Durant and Harden as well as Green were hitting shot after shot. Still they have no inside D.

Delfino did well, I like him, a perfect role player.

The Cavs seem to have profited from the trade being 5th now. LA and Suns at 7 and 8 is not so nice but thats the 29 games season I guess.

A win followed by three losses it seems. Its seemingly impossible to win the draft lottery in NBA video games anyway, so draft Turner!

Yep, they finally turned it around. Unfortunately my win over Thunder turned into a snowball effect for them as they've lost 6 out of 7 game since.

Yep, Delfino did well. Shame he broke his finger a few days later & hasn't played since (hence the losses )

As for Cavs, Lebron has gone stupid!!! He's averaging almost triple double for the last 2 months it seems. And as for Cavs' news, they reeled off 8 straight wins to secure the Central Division. What's more, Michael Redd tore his ACL & is out for a season so I dodged a bullet there But after Redd went down, Lebron had 3 triple doubles in 4 games (with the game he missed out on a triple double he finished one assist shy of one). Then the Cavs finally loss because Lebron only put up 44pts, 10rebs & 4asts He now seems to have definitely catapulted past Carmelo Anthony & Josh Smith for MVP honours.

As for Lakers & Suns, you have to remember that by the midpoint of the season, both these teams had only notched up about 5-6 wins so they've both come on strong, especially the Lakers who started 1-6. I think whoever ends up winning Southwest Division (Rockets or Mavs) or the Blzers are going to lose in 1st Round to Lakers. You heard it here first.

A win followed by three losses it seems. Its seemingly impossible to win the draft lottery in NBA video games anyway, so draft Turner!

You've probably put a reverse jinx on me & I'll get the #1 pick. I'm looking at either Wall, Turner, Favors or Henry as I'm almost assured a top 4 pick now

Wow, you got absolutedly hammered by the Bobcats. Very embarassing!

I think you should pick John Wall. Wall + Jennings backcourt sounds very very enticing.

I'm unsure about Bogut. I think you could trade him and someone else for a better and more consistent big man.

Yep, I ended up simming the Bobcats' 2nd half because I was getting smashed. They play really good defense!!! Plus Brandon Jennings got into foul trouble early. Delfino & Ridnour were out with injuries so my team is just weak

But yes, if I have the number 1 pick then I couldn't see myself passing on John Wall. Best to take best talent & he is at top of list & he has size to start at SG if necessary.

As for Bogut, he's good in games but terrible when simming, so at the moment I will keep him. It's too hard to find quality big's so Bogie isn't going anywhere

Hey all,

A few more games up on 2k blog:



In case you hadn't already noticed, I want this season over & done with Around the league, Michael Redd tore his ACL so don't know how much Lebron can continue to average 40+ppg, 12+rpg & 8+apg when the playoffs begin

I am a fan of Delfino.

I guess you still got a few prospects to look at! Am like you, cannot wait for the season to end so we can move into offseason!!!

How fast you think you can get through the season?

How fast you think you can get through the season?

Well I'll be finished season today. Playoffs/season summary within a week. Off-season another week. Then it'll get quiet as far as updates go since I got my huge CA exam in mid-February, so once I get off-season out of way, I'm going to put my head down. There'll be blog updates & games, but not that often I'd say.

So I've been able to get through this first season, playoffs & off-season in one month (since I started mid-December), but I was on holidays for two weeks & it was raining so I've been nailing through it.

Realistically, once things are normal, family life changes but no more study, I'd say each season should take no more than three months. Better to be conservative. So maybe four seasons per year if I'm lucky. I won't be buying 2k11 since I will become poor by default in May so I'll just continue this one rolling. Then championships will come

Yeah, I was thinking you were getting this season way faster than your usual pace (Dynasty-wise and in real life playing basketball-wise).

Hey all,

Lebron vs Cavs up on 2k blog:



And the race for the worst record in the NBA heats up. The best I can do is tied for worst record with Jazz & T-wolves. What a capitulation, going from 6-7 to 8-20

Yes, Bron was a monster... wow

Yes, Bron was a monster... wow

At least he didn't score much. His previous few games he was getting 40+ points and still triple doubling

Massive triple-double by LeBron, before the 3rd quarter that was a winnable game - unlucky, yet another loss; however, it does mean another step closer to a top pick, so not all too bad.

COLLEGE COVERAGE - MARCH MADNESS RECAP
By The X
15 April 2010

With another college season over, I am taking a quick look back at the magical moments that made March Madness. The main stories:

1. Kansas Jayhawks win the National Title, their 2nd in the last 3 years



Freshman sensation Xavier Henry wins Final Four Most Outstanding Player as he scores 27 points for #1 seed Kansas in a 77-72 win over #2 seed West Virginia. Kansas scraped by #1 seed Purdue 65-64 in the National Semi Finals, meanwhile West Virginia outlasted #3 seed Connecticut 71-62 behind 19 points from Da'Sean Butler.

2. #1 Overall Seed Kentucky Wildcats fail to reach Final Four

Despite earning the #1 overall seed going into the Tournament, the inexperience of the Kentucky Wildcats faltered against the experience of Connecticut, going down 63-68. Freshman John Wall had what is likely to be a disappointing end to his college career, held to 11 points on 4 of 13 shooting and turning the ball over 6 times.

3. Pint-sized Sit leads Fordham to Sweet 16

Fordham aren't even a blip on the Division 1 basketball radar or even in the Atlantic 10. That all changed when 5'8" senior point guard William Sit became the team's starting point guard this season. He helped lead Fordham to a surprising 14-13 winning record through conference play, but the real surprise was when they ran the table in the Conference Tournament and beat UMass in Final to advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Once in the Tournament, Fordham were considered easy beats and afforded only a #14 seed, with a matchup against #3 seed Washington Huskies. Fordham came out strong and held on for a surprise 71-68 win as Sit won the point guard battle against Liam Washburn, who had trouble keeping in front of the quicker Sit. Next up was #6 seed Oklahoma with dynamic backcourt duo Willie Warren and James Anderson, who seemed likely to end the Rams' run. Sit had other ideas as the Rams pulled off another upset, this time winning 82-77.

This led the Rams to the Sweet 16 and a matchup against #2 seed North Carolina. The irony of this would be found out later. Will Sit had always wanted to play at Chapel Hill but coach Roy Williams refused to recruit such an undersized point guard, from Australia no less, regardless of skill level. Sit only had one scholarship offer and that was from lowly Fordham. Sit nonetheless accepted it, with the plan that it would prove himself and transfer to the Tarheels by his junior season. Unfortunately for Sit, he struggled early in his college career with his shot and decision-making skills against much bigger opponents. Sit didn't actually establish himself as a legit Division 1 college player until his junior season, where he played well in a sixth man role for the 12-17 Rams.

Anyways, as the story went, Fordham played the Tarheels pretty tough and kept it relatively close, mostly due to Will Sit, who seemed to be taking the game personally on his way to 26 points. Unfortunately the Tarheels showed their superior class as they pulled clear in the last 5 minutes to win the game 78-62. Despite the result, the toughness of Will Sit and the Cinderella run by the Fordham Rams had become a major talking point amongst college analysts.


As far as how the season awards were handed out, they went as follows:

All-American 1st Team
G- John Wall (Kentucky) *National Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year*
F- Luke Harangody (Notre Dame)
F- Wesley Johnson (Syracuse)
G- Willie Warren (Oklahoma)
G- Sherron Collins (Kansas)

All-American 2nd Team
G- Kalin Lucas (Michigan State)
F- Al-Farouq Aminu (Wake Forest)
F- Patrick Patterson (Kentucky)
C- Cole Aldrich (Kansas)
G- Jerome Dyson (Connecticut)

Notables: Shooting guard Andrew Watson (Virginia Tech) was named to the ACC All-2nd Team and was also an Honorable Mention All-American after averaging 16ppg and 4rpg as a senior. He helped lead the Hokies to the NIT Final, where they lost to UAB. Pint-sized point guard William Sit (Fordham) was named to Atlantic-10 All-1st Team after averaging 18ppg and 5apg a senior. Sit starred for the Rams during a surprising run to the Sweet 16 before falling to UNC. Point guard Liam Washburn (Washington) was named to the PAC-10 All-2nd Team after averaging 12ppg and 7apg as a senior. After combining with Quincy Pondexter to lead the Huskies to a PAC-10 title, Washburn unfortunately ended his strong college career early with the Huskies disappointedly being knocked out in the opening round to upstarts Fordham.

It's gonna be tough for me to get drafted on a good team. Damn you Roy Williams. BTW, I am 5'9" with shoes. I hope...

What? You're wearing platforms? I asked Stef to estimate your height & she said you were 5'6" & 1/2" in shoes I'll split the difference & bump you up to 5'8"

As for UNC, I just couldn't realistically do it sorry as I know Roy wouldn't do it IRL. Unfortunately it was bittersweet that you couldn't take them down in Sweet 16, but ahh well, at least you got bragging rights (for now) over Lamrock
